, B.A.

What I loved about UofA was the independence of the School of Communication and its expertise. Other universities either put the majors in the Business School (marketing) or A&S (writing). UofA recognized, much earlier than most, the unique nature of Communications. Their focus on the disciplines involved created a level of expertise and a depth of knowledge that I found impossible to match.

The quality of the training and positive inspiration at UA is top notch. As I write this I am sitting in NYC overlooking the former location of the twin towers with Wall Street just a few blocks away. My Bama education has helped me be prepared to work with the best of the best!

The Application Journey

The Application Journey

01

Create Account

To build your SchoolApply profile, you will need to answer a few questions about yourself, your academic goals
and your finances. We won't share this information with anyone else. Creating a SchoolApply account is the first
step in your journey to studying at a university abroad.

02

The documents you upload will help us determine if we can support you in your goal of studying at a university
abroad. You will need to pay a SchoolApply admin fee in order to move on to step 3.

03

Meet your advisor

Your very own advisor will guide you through the Application Journey. At step 3, you will call your advisor so
you can express what is important to you and they can tell you about your options. After the call, your advisor
will send you a list of universities you can apply to.

04

Start application

With SchoolApply, you only need to create one application; your advisor will submit it to the universities for
you. For your application, you will need to include your academic history, English and entrance exam results,
